The Monarch Counter Stool brings the comfort of a small lounge chair to the kitchen counter. A rounded back, a sculpted bolstered seat, and a warm wood frame combine into a stool that invites lingering — the second cup of coffee, the long conversation, the slow Sunday breakfast.

The mushroom performance velvet upholstery on a walnut frame with a black accent showcases a grounded, earthen look. The oat woven textile on a white oak frame with an aged brass accent has a lighter, luminous quality.

Both are designed to feel substantial without crowding the room. Sized for standard counter heights. Pairs especially well with Luna Credenza and Lodo Drink Table in warm, earth-toned vignettes.

The Monarch Counter Stool is offered in two complete material conversations — each pairing an upholstery with a wood frame and a metal accent chosen to match it.

Mushroom Performance Velvet / Walnut / Black
• A soft performance velvet in Mushroom — a warm, slightly muted neutral with a low-pile finish designed for everyday use.
• The tone complements walnut's deeper chocolate and amber undertones, a material conversation that reads as Fall in a single glance.
• Solid walnut frame with a matte black metal accent.
• The grounded, earthen option — ideal for kitchens with walnut cabinetry, warm-toned countertops, or transitional palettes.

Oat Woven / White Oak / Champagne Brass
• A performance-grade woven textile in warm oat tones with visible texture, from a supplier whose fabrics are used in high-traffic hospitality applications.
• Solid white oak frame with an Aged Brass accent — not gleaming or antique-yellow, but a warmer, lower-shine finish that mellows over time.
• The luminous option, and the stool's strongest expression of soft, restorative comfort.
• Ideal for Scandinavian-inspired, coastal, or transitional kitchens where elevated comfort and natural light are the priority.

Construction
• A rounded back and sculpted, bolstered seat bring the comfort of a small lounge chair to counter height.
• Contoured, padded seat over a solid hardwood frame in walnut or white oak.
• Matte black or Aged Brass hardware, matched to the upholstery.
• Felt-tipped leveling feet.
• Sized for standard counter height at 24", and proportioned for standard counter depth and island configurations — generous without adding footprint.

Product Care
Mushroom Performance Velvet
• Vacuum regularly with a furniture nozzle to remove dust and debris.
• Blot spills immediately and spot clean with a water-based upholstery cleaner.
• Avoid excessive rubbing when cleaning stains.
• Do not use strong cleaning agents, solvents, or bleach.
• Once dry, lightly brush in the direction of the nap to maintain the fabric's soft texture.

Oat Woven
• Cleans easily with a damp cloth — blot rather than rub.
• Vacuum regularly with a furniture nozzle to keep the weave from trapping crumbs.
• Spot clean with a water-based upholstery cleaner, working outward from the edge of a spot to avoid leaving a ring.
• Avoid bleach and strong solvents.
• Performance-grade rather than decorative: it resists the friction and contact of counter-height daily use.

Walnut or White Oak Frame
• Dust regularly with a dry microfiber cloth.
• For deeper cleaning, wipe with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water, then dry surfaces immediately.
• Wipe up standing liquid right away — kitchen settings expose wood to more moisture than most rooms.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water and harsh cleaners.
• Keep out of direct sunlight; both species shift tone with prolonged UV exposure.

Matte Black Accent
• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use a lightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
• Avoid abrasive pads, scouring cleaners, and polishes, which can wear through the finish.

Champagne Brass Accent
• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, use a lightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
• Aged Brass is a treated finish, not raw brass — it is designed to maintain its warm, mellow appearance without the typical tarnishing cycle.
• Do not use metal polishes or abrasive cleaners. The slight mellowing that occurs over time reads as warmth, not neglect.
